Thinking about the weather of your big day, the condition of your skin, praying for no blotchy patches? Just wanting everything to be perfect… Well, sometimes situations need a little helping hand… why not give the below suggestions a go, to give you the help you might need!

Don't get burnt on your big day!ERiiS Sun range from Italy's Iridiem Pharma offers triple protection sun care against UVA, UVB and Infrared-A, with its highest 50+ SPF providing a UVA-UVB ratio of 82.95%. Active ingredients include Carrot Fresh Cells Extract to hydrate skin and give an intense, even tan, as well as a vitamin complex providing vitamins A, C and E for their antioxidant properties. The complex helps to protect and regenerate skin stressed by sun exposure and limit the risk of erythema (skin redness) and abnormal pigmentation. ERiiS Sun range also contains Iridixina-S, an innovative complex of sun protective filters for triple UVA, UVB and Infrared-A protection. It actively targets free radicals generated by exposure to the sun and helps prevent damage to skin cells, including the formation of solar scars, and protect against premature ageing and the appearance of wrinkles, age-spots and loss of skin elasticity. ERiiS Sun range, unlike many on the market has an extra gentle formulation, is paraben and allergen-free, and due to its light oil-free consistency is rapidly absorbed into the skin once applied. Presented in high quality pump bottles, the ERiiS Sun range costs from £14.95 for 150ml and is available from www.vie-healthcare.com
